Emirates A350-900
Emirates has signed a contract to buy eight more A350-900 airliners from Airbus.

Emirates added to its flurry of business to grow its widebody fleet by ordering eight more Airbus A350-900 aircraft on Wednesday. The deal signed at the Dubai Airshow followed a deal with Boeing on Monday for 65 777-9s, with the two contracts collectively valued at $41.1 billion.

The A350-900s, which are due to be delivered in 2031, will be powered by Rolls-Royce XWB84 engines. The top up order takes Emirates’ total commitment to the type to 73 aircraft, and the carrier has already taken delivery of 13.
